What Causes Red, Pink And Brownish Color Around Eyes?

Red/Pink/Brownish colour around eyes. Hey, I have this problem around my eyes, under the eye brows and just generally around the eyes. NO its not my eyes. Its the skin around the eyes. Its been red for quite awhile, I also kind of have a wrinkle looking thing under my left eye after I scratch the area. Also when I scratch the area, it gets very, very dark and starts to burn.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
From your history it seems that you are suffering from fungal infection of the skin around your eyes. I want to ask that whether you are suffering from dandruff in your hair? My advice is apply some antifungal ointment like Neomycin+Steriod combination thrice daily for 5 days around your eyes. Do not let it enter in your eyes. Take Oral antihitaminic like Levocetrizine twice daily for 5 days. This will reduce your itch.
Apply warm water fomentation around the eyes. This will relieve your itch and desire to scratch.
take adequate sleep, drinks lots of water and fruit juices, perform Yoga. Avoid working for long in front of computers.
